Family duties

I wake up and put on my ripped black jeans and throw on a band shirt, Nervana or something like that I think and throw on my shoes, I have a light skip to my step as I walk to the great Hall, I spot Thimas waving me over and I gladly accept. On my way over I can hear him talking about today's olympic events " hey Thomas" I'm beaming with happiness but I just can't help it! I'm so excited for the dance. " Hey Yvette, are you coming to watch the olympics?" Is he actually asking me that? " Of course I am Thomas, I'll be there." I start eating breakfast but notice a pair of gray eyes staring me. I've had enough of him always staring, it's seriously annoying so I stare back, he's not going to win this time. Rader seems to be taken back by my stare but smirks anyway and rests his chin on his fist connected to the table, I swear his smug little face gets more and more annoying everyday, my eye roll is so big it physically hurt to do, I turn back to Thomas deciding id make the first move by putting my hand over his to let him know I was leaving to my room to get ready, as I walk out of the great Hall I see Rader practically jump out of his chair to fallow me so I speed up. Our past encounter was super awkward and I'd rather not repeat it. "Yvette!" I almost stop, his voice is so smooth and commanding, it's hard to resist but I keep moving until I'm running and he's still hot on my heels, eventually he grabbed my arm and pulled me around to face him, oh no oh no oh no no no no no this is not happening " what was with you and Thomas in there? Do you seriously like him?! He's a nerd!" My blood is boiling! How dare he call Thomas a nerd? " At least he doesn't act like he's something he's not. Thomas is amazing and nice and he makes me feel good about myself and he's smart and brave- I could go on and on, would you like me to?" I put my hands on my hips snatching my arm from his grasp in the process. " Yvette, you know you don't have a choice in who you marry so why are you fooling around with him?? Someone you know you can never be with? It'll only last till the end of the year when your family decides who you will marry." Rader says matter-of-factly. he's not wrong... Being a high standing family in society means arranged marriage for us to keep our line 'wealthy' and although my family doesn't mind other people's social status they do mind ours and take great pride in it. But if I could just be happy for awhile longer then I will be. " At least I can be happy a short while Rader, besides... Thomas is worth it to me, even if I do get hurt in the end" I storm off, happy mood? Never heard of her. I pass by a hallway and suddenly everything goes black.

Thomas point of view:

I haven't seen Yvette anywhere... Not since she left the great Hall with William fallowing her, I'm so worried, I have no clue where she could be but I'd look weird leaving her brother to look for her, why did she put her hand on mine like that? Did she do it on purpose? she's fine I'm sure of it.

Yvette's pov:

I should go dress shopping, i don't have much longer now" I remind myself while nodding in agreement " I should go tomorrow since they stopped classes for Tomorrow anyway" "great I'll go with you!" I spin on my heel and to see Dean beaming with excitement, lately we've been spending so little time together so I could understand his want but it's a little weird to go with a boy that isn't my date, but honestly whatever makes him happy, "okay! That sounds great! Let's meet ant 10am ok?" We set a time for tomorrow and I decide to go to my dorm and sleep, being pissed off then happy is tiring work. On my way to my dorm I slip on a stair and bump my butt on the way down but I didn't even get to process my pain when I see a worried Rader run my way " are you alright? What happened to you? Your father will be furious if he heard about this." He's scanning my whole body for wounds but as he finds none he immediately calms down " yes, Rader I'm fine... What is wrong with you? You never ask how I'm doing not ever show that you care in the slightest?" What the hell is he so worried about? How the hell does he know my father? He doesn't even really know me. " Nothing Lamére, just wanted to see you cry for once, you know like normal girls do when they fall?" He stalks away with his hands in his pockets...ohhhhkayy... that was really weird. I think I should avoid him as much as possible because he's acting super weird and Thomas might get the wrong idea. I get to my dorm and fall asleep... Today has been extremely exhausting.
